- This is a high-end melt flow index tester that has a robotic mechanism to fully automate the measurement of “Melt Flow Rate (MFR),” a key indicator of fluidity during the molding process of thermoplastics. The system automates the entire sequence of operations, from charging the resin into the cylinder to performing the actual measurements. By simply loading the specimens into the sample cups and inputting the test conditions via the dedicated PC software, up to 12 standard samples can be measured consecutively and unattended. Highly acclaimed for its space-saving design, low running costs, and high precision that eliminates human error, this tester powerfully supports quality assurance and research & development operations at leading material manufacturers.

- Automatic Weight Loading Device
- In melt flow testing, test loads over 10 kg are required depending on the material, and manually changing the weights can be both burdensome and hazardous. The Automatic Weight Loading Device automates load changes, reducing the physical strain and risk for operators. Additionally, it automatically switches loads based on registered test conditions, allowing continuous testing of samples under different test parameters.
